[Verse 1]

Thought it was over

I try to hold it in but it overflows

Does anything compare?

You can pretend we're done, but the body knows

You got me out here

I try to hate you, but the feelin' just grows

And I'm fine without it, but would it be so bad to want me the most?


[Pre-Chorus]

Are you up?

Are you mine? Borderline

Is it us?

Is it right? Can we crystallize?


[Chorus]

I don't know which way to go

Pin me down, twist the knife

Hey, what are you runnin' for?

Hurt me more than you could know

I don't know which way to go

Why can't you get it right?

I'm here as long as you know

I'm the one who loved you most


[Verse 2]

Chip on your shoulder

You hate on evеrythin' and it's a disguise

But I'll put you out there

Don't givе a fuck, you know that's why I'm the prize


[Pre-Chorus]

Are you up?

Are you mine? Borderline

Is it us?

Is it right? Can we crystallize?


[Chorus]

I don't know which way to go

Pin me down, twist the knife

Hey, what are you runnin' for?

Hurt me more than you could know

I don't know which way to go

Why can't you get it right?

I'm here as long as you know

I'm the one who loved you most

I don't know which way to go

Pin me down, twist the knife

Hey, what are you runnin' for?

Hurt me more than you could know

I don't know which way to go

Why can't you get it right?

I'm here as long as you know

I'm the one who loved you most


[Bridge]

Deep down, I know I should go, but my hands are tied

You pull me in 'cause we both know it, are we tethered inside?

Deep down, I know you'll stay, I can't tonight

It could be us, but do you mean it? Saw the light in your eyes


[Chorus]

I don't know which way to go

Pin me down, twist the knife (I don't know which way to go)

Hey, what are you runnin' for?

Hurt me more than you could know (What are you runnin' for?)

I don't know which way to go (Hey, what are you runnin' for?)

Why can't you get it right? (I don't know which way to go)

I'm here as long as you know (I'm here as long as you know)


[Outro]

It's okay, I'm alright (It's okay, I'm alright)

I just wanted to you to know (I just wanted to you to know)

It's okay, I'm alright (It's okay, I'm alright)

I just wanted to you to know (I just wanted to you to know)

It's okay, I'm alright (It's okay, I'm alright)

I just wanted to you to know (I just wanted to you to know)

It's okay, I'm alright

Is it right? Can we crystallize?
